In reply to:I was amazed to see, on one of the first pages of a guidebook to Indonesia, Saya mau ayam goreng Kentucky: "I want Kentucky Fried Chicken".
Hmm. I think people are more likely to say just saya mau Kentucky. Can't think why, ayam goreng (Indonesian style fried chicken) is much nicer.
Incidentally, is California Fried Chicken (which is ghastly) known elsewhere? Indonesia's the only place I've seen it.
